BRIDGESAT, INC. ANNOUNCES CORPORATE NAME CHANGE TO BRIDGECOMM, INC.Jul 15 2019 | DENVER, CO.Name change reflects growing demand and BridgeSat involvement in optical wireless communications beyond space to terrestrial and airborne marketsBridgeSat, Inc., a leader in optical wireless communications (OWC) solutions and services, is pleased to announce its official corporate name change to BridgeComm, Inc. Supporting the company's vision to provide organizations worldwide with fast, secure, enterprise-grade broadband services, the name change reflects its role as an OWC pioneer in growing marketplaces adjacent to the space sector, where it has built strong relationships among public, private and government organizations."With support from our investors and our strategic partner Boeing, we have made a deliberate decision that best represents our focus and the growing demands of our customers," says BridgeComm's CEO Barry A. Matsumori. "While we are still committed to providing solutions to enable advances in the space ecosystem, we are at the forefront of developing solutiuons for high-growth markets, specifically terrestrial and airborne, where 5G and United States Government demands are increasing at a rapid pace."Launched in 2015, BridgeComm quickly garnered attention as the first organization to commercialize OWC and begin development of a global network of optical ground stations designed to support complimentary fixed and mobile terminals that provide high-bandwidth, high-security solutions for unique applications. A wireless technology offering rapid point-to-point data transmission via beams of light that connect from one telescope to another using low-power, safe, infrared lasers in the terahertz spectrum, OWC holds tremendous potential to augment RF, fiber and mmWave technologies and extend the capabilities of the terrestrial fiber grid-particularly in hard-to-access environments and in areas where cell towers do not currently exist.Analytics firm Research and Markets predicts the global OWC market will experience significant growth by 2023 at an estimated compound annual growth rate of 33.49 percent, from $229.2 million generated in 2017. In addition to space exploration and future opportunities for 4G and 5G networks, prominent applications include intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and backhaul."Working across industry sectors to bring integrated, multi-domain solutions to market, we look forward to BridgeComm's evolution," added Matsumori, whose company is engaged in a wide range of U.S. Government activities, with several commercial airborne lasercom projects well underway. "As a terminal agnostic provider of OWC solutions, we are proud to be at the leading edge enabling a new era of connectivity."For more information, visit: www.bridgecomminc.com.

The bureaucratic wheels continue to turn in the process to get initial commercial deployments of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service underway. It's ... so ... close.On Friday, a blog post confirmed that the final test reports for the first wave of Spectrum Access System administrators - which include Federated Wireless, CommScope subsidiary Comsearch and Google - were officially completed and submitted to the commercial participants on Thursday. By Friday afternoon, Federated Wireless had already submitted its final SAS test results to the Federal Communications Commission for review, and the CBRS Alliance put out a statement saying that it expects all of the SAS administrators who have received results to submit those reports to the FCC within days - which will complete all of the related industry work necessary for initial commercial deployments (ICD) to begin.The only hurdles left to clear before initial commercial deployment (ICD) can start, are the review of those SAS test results by the FCC, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Department of Defense, and - assuming that the results are acceptable - the official authorization of the SAS administrators, based on those results.Federated had previously submitted the draft results of its testing in an effort to get the review process jump-started and said that its SAS passed all of the more than 1,000 tests conducted by Institute for Telecommunications Sciences, which is part of NTIA (the draft and official results submitted to the FCC are redacted, citing competitive concerns).The SASes, which enable the proper sharing and protection of users in the three-tiered CBRS framework, went through testing with ITS that was completed in April. Draft results were made available to the SAS administrators last month, and the CBRS ecosystem has been anxiously awaiting ITS' submission of the official results reports on which authorization of the SAS will be based.CBRS will launch initially with two of the three tiers of sharing enabled: incumbents and General Authorized Access. The Priority Access tier will be licensed, but that auction is not expected to happen until 2020. The coastal Environmental Sensing Capabilities (ESC), which protect incumbents including naval radar systems on ships, were previously tested by ITS and have already received authorization. Federated Wireless' network is already operational.ICD is essentially formal field testing, although the networks will be considered commercial at that point. The WInnForum describes ICD as being used to prove the ability of Spectrum Access Systems and CBRS devices to perform properly in the field. It is a minimum period of 30 days, at which point a report on the results of ICD has to be submitted to the FCC for review. Once the ICD data has been reviewed, the SAS operators can receive final certification and approval to operate for five years. That is the point at which CBRS will be well and truly open for large-scale business."The completed tests will drive progress toward initial commercial deployments in the band, prized for its excellent mix of capacity and coverage capabilities," Keith Gremban, director of ITS, wrote in the blog post on the official completion of the test result reports. He went on to note that while LTE technology is available for the band now, "industry has already begun to develop specifications to support 5G deployments."A number of companies have recently indicated plans for large-scale tests of CBRS, including Walt Disney resorts and cable company Charter Communications. Dave Wright, president of the CBRS Alliance and director of regulatory affairs and network standards for CommScope (which now owns Ruckus Wireless) said at the recent Dynamic Spectrum Alliance global summit that a CBRS Alliance event earlier this year featured demonstrations of 31 CBRS devices that are either already certified for operation, or soon will be, ranging from flagship smartphones to customer premise equipment to IoT modules and gateways.On Friday, Wright released a statement saying that the CBRS Alliance had been alerted by its SAS administrator members late Thursday that they had received their official result reports from ITS, and that it expects all of them to submit those reports to the FCC within the next few days."Our leadership met recently with the FCC, NTIA, and DoD, and we have no doubt that our federal partners are as eager as the Alliance's members for the launch of commercial service," Wright added.

Spectrum Sharing Testing Reports Shared with SAS Administrators
June 25, 2019 by NTIA
NTIA’s engineering lab has shared Spectrum Access System (SAS) laboratory test reports with the commercial entities that participated in spectrum sharing testing at the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences. The reports are a critical part of advancing the sharing model in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service 3.5 GHz band.

The reports include a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the test results to ensure accuracy and consistency. This work adds to already substantial work in progress in developing the 3.5 GHz band, which is prime mid-band spectrum that offers a mix of capacity and coverage capabilities. The SAS manages the environment where potential commercial spectrum systems will operate. The Federal Communications Commission anticipates relying on the test reports in certifying that an SAS is in compliance with its rules.

"Analysts expect MRAM revenues to grow 170X by 2029 to reach $4 billion"

"The analysts expect many memory technologies, including DRAM, 3D Xpoint and NAND to grow in the coming years, but the most stellar growth will be of MRAM memories."

[cf456] 09/7/2019 20:58

"As an extremely fast, high-endurance nonvolatile memory, MRAM is poised to displace embedded flash and level 3 cache SRAM in both IoT and AI applications,” said Tom Sparkman, CEO of Spin Memory."

“The availability of a high-volume manufacturing system from Applied Materials is a huge boost to the ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be working with Applied to deliver MRAM solutions accelerate its adoption.”
